£1,000 Reward for Operation Motorman Names
Guido has already pointed out the obvious failing in the Indy’s exposure yesterday of dirty tricks on Fleet Street. Despite apparently having the original invoices revealing who commissioned the murky and illegal goings on, the Indy refuses to reveal who were the journalists authorising the pay-outs to the über-blagger Steve Wittamore to procure illegal information.
Journalists face two years jail time for each offence. Some 389 journalists were identified by the Information Commissioner’s Operation Motorman inquiry yet none of them have yet been named or shamed never mind charged. With the papers clearly too tame, or too complicit, to do it, Guido has decided to put up a £1,000 reward to whomever helps him to successfully obtain the unredacted files and invoices that show the blagging hacks. It can be in cash to you or a donation to the charity of your choice.
It is reported that the investigators were preparing charges for conspiracy and they were thwarted in their intentions. Somebody has those Motorman files and has shown them to the Indy. If you show them to Guido, we promise the truth will out, nobody will nobble us, we will name and shame. Go on, do the right thing…

Now this is a worthy campaign Guido!
No it aint, have you ever seen Guido handing out prizes for his caption competitions?
It is always possible that Guido will give you the money just after starting a game of monopoly.
A Saudi prince is to be questioned again over allegations he drugged and sexually assaulted a young model on a yacht in the Mediterranean three years ago.

Trouble? Nah. Wait for the Saudi’s conjuring trick.
“Here we are, pile of money, pile of money, see the pile of money? See it? Watch it closely and *poof!* it’s gone! And so have the allegations.”
I don’t know whether he did it or not. His problem is media, being Rupert’s friend has made a lot of enemies for him in media.
You are Tommy Cooper and I claim my £5!
Guido you dont pay out prizes – why shoold we beleve you this time
So? Nothing you can not do in the USA, on land and in a Hotel.
Such a campaign should be dedicated to Tom Watson, Chris Bryant, John Prescot and of course the leader of the opposition as they were the ones who opened this can of worms. Well done lads.
PS Guido i am sure co-conspiriters would asist if you need rasie the reward.
amount.
As in if you need people to chip in to double it , Ya know.
You never learn.
Sorry, i am an arsehole and i cant helper myself
You never shut up : (
Anyone think it might’ve been uber-loon Hari trolling on here?
What, you mean Billy is Hari? Could well be actually.
He would certainly be lurking, but whether he would be daft enough to play the troll is moot.
And did the mighty Zeus crack his thunderbolt and 389 Hermes came crashing down to earth, their scarves fluttering about them.
I’m sure Tom Watson MP will throw in another £1,000 to help get to the bottom of this issue.
I am far too tight on my money for that
And as the self-appointed Hercule Poirot of the House of Commons I will get to the bottom (as my friend Y fronts would say) of it all by myself
Just watch me….while I wobble and dribble before I go to Saint Tropez next summer as the sex male symbol (there are not many left) of the House of Commons…
You just spend it all on food and booze you fat cnut.
I’ll throw in two dozen pies from my lunch allowance.
Is the fat jerk married? Dear God…
Our normal tariff for information about sensitive criminal investigations is far more than 1 grand Guido
Perhaps 25 grand for starters, a few dribbles..plus drinks for the rest of our working lives at your local pub…
Youknow that a large number of us are already under investigation about what the other half of the ossifers do….
I am still waiting for the cartoon of the “Mets arresting the Mets”…
Or will they all get off Jock free in five years time because of the time “Lord” Leveson (of the thieveing and incestuous barristers association) takes to produce a barristers wash…
In the old days it was always said if you wish to kick a problem into the long grass, set up a Royal Commission (is Leveson “Royal” BTW ?: – we all know he accepted hospitality from the Murdochs but that does not make him Royal ?)
What is this “long grass” you speak of ?
Charity of choice? How much is freedom worth these days?
You think you have freedom??
Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!
Fair point. Inverted commas at the ready!
Why was it called operation motorman?
Because “Operation Dull-as-dishwater” didn’t have the same ring to it.
was it a name left over after the first chris huhne investigation went south ?
Was it supposed to be motor mouth? and this was rejected because it as too close to the truth?
Sorry, I was not being sexist. The implication is that professional people you should be able to trust cannot be discreet for love nor money.
Because they like to think they’re getting rid of ‘No-go’ areas (31st July 1972)?

Not the info you want Guido but it has some intresting details (unless you have read it)
Billy, repeat after me: “I am not going to get the £1,000.”
Caption comp tomorrow, though – it could be you! [tm].
Tessa
I dont want the money but i do want the info to come into the public domain.
Ps there is more chance of Gordon Brown becoming PM again than me winning the caption contest.
“there is more chance of Gordon Brown becoming PM again”
Don’t. Even. Think. It.
My nightmare scenario: Labour ditches Milimong, replaces him with Balls. Cameron loses next GE*. Balls appoints Brown as Chancellor. Balls dies in a horrible accident** and Brown replaces him.
*not sure how Cameron could lose with Balls as an opponent. But..
**not all things in nightmares are bad.
mine wouldn’t even open a door for that pittance let alone put one in…mind you as he only gets calls about golf or shopping from me he could be difficult to get hold of.
I am the real Motorman
Chief investigator of the new “Whitewash” “operation”
I am getting tired of having to investigate the same fucking things 15 years in a row
Can’t you just let me go to the pub and celebrate my latest bonus…
That David Rose probably knows a thing or two. Where is he these days ?
If you’re serious name the person responsible for hacking Dolly.
And in the interests of balance name the torygraph hack that refused to pay you for it.
it was leaked numbnuts.
Left accidentally on a photocopier I expect.
Or someone was so disgusted by the plan that thier concinse kicked in?
So we’re looking at a conscience stricken individual with Guido’s phone number?
I think I’ve spotted the flaw in this theory.
Jimmy, you do bring a smile to my face with some of your comments.
yes quite right cutting that sheep up was unforgiveable
You don’t betray your sources lest they dry up. Balance, ferchrissakes!
And yet he invites others to do so, for a bribe which, it has to be said, is really quite insultingly small. I thought this blog was supposed to be swimming in cash?
No, he’s inviting someone to become a source not betray one. I presume the identity of the whistle-blower will not be published, only the names of the 389 blaggers.
The blog probably is swimming in cash (thanks to your efforts, mine and others) and shall remain so as long as he is so tightfisted. On that we are agreed.
I’ll have to take it on trust. Can’t claim to understand this internet ad malarkey. Who would have thought the 0-50 IQ demo was so lucrative? Presumably the theory is if they’ll swallow the stories here then you can probably sell them any old tat.
Not since Billy started double posting 24/7
Ahh, diversionary tactics – the favourite pastime of those trying to defend the indefensible.
After the repeated scandals and coverups, I am surprised that the Director of Public Prosecutions is not being asked to resign
In any case, if Cameroon has had any cojones at all, he would have fired him already
Unless of course….doubts doubts…
I was going to contribute £2 billion to the fund but got distracted this morning.
it seems he may have been trying to help a prominent dead african minister’s family to get money they needed help moving…he gave his bank details and voila…2 bill gone walkabout
Guido – why don’t you analyse these:

Guido
You say
“the investigators were preparing charges”
How many times have we heard that ?
There is a real problem at the level opf the DPP..
Like in France,
If you control the CPS, you control the whole judicial system
And deny any possibility of real justice and democracy
“No charges, no convictions”
Simples
François
You are you the one who looks after Lord End-Bell “Son de cloche” in Paris, i think
Am I right ?
Can’t move on this too soon. Prisons still clogged up with rioters. And need to leave some spaces for expenses fiddlers.
Suppose Hanningfield will count as a repeat offender now (if allegations turn out to be true).
77 years of hurt has know gone

“And over to Gabby at Old Trafford where Lancashire won their first County Championship since 1934.”
“What can you see Gabby?”
“A building site, with closed for essential repair work.”
Careful, Guido. There are names we in Labour don’t want released. Don’t make us do another Harrowden Hills. Got it?
Bad Al
It is high time that you taook the fateful decision
You are a compulsive liar who destroyed the credibility of Downing Street and the security servies..even before the Madman Brown took over…
careful bad al you might get a Ned type response rather than the doctorly one you got last time.
You’re hired !

DRAPER ALERT
Derek Draper is planning a return to the political scene, launching his own political book publishing company just before the Labour Party conference.
The former editor of Labour List, forced to resign after the Damian McBride email scandal, has already sent his first book to the printers.
Derek Draper has a long history with the Labour Party, having worked as a researcher for Peter Mandelson and set up the New Labour group Progress. In 1998 he was caught on tape boasting to the undercover journalist Greg Palast that he could sell access to government ministers.
After resigning as editor of Labour List in 2009, then taken over by Alex Smith and later Mark Ferguson, Draper retrained as a psychotherapist.
However, sources say Draper will keep a low profile this time around avoid interviews.
His publishing venture – called Ruskin Books – will publish its first book later this month. It will be authored by the freelance journalist Rowenna Davis.
If you retrained as Psycho_The_Rapist, would you not want to keep a low profile also?
Fuck off Dolly!
Anyone who goes to see Derek Draper for psychotherapy needs their head examined.
This is how some psychotherapists view Draper.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/apr/26/letters-psychotherapy-mental-health
Though I would rather view him through one of Barr and Stroud excellent products.
I laid on Dollys couch and it wasn’t that bad. I was his fist political Bi-Polar Depressive. I even saw his wife and that Anton ballroon dancing bloke.
Sooo.. at the very moment that book shops are closing, book prices are collapsing, book-printers are being replaced by ebooks, and any man and his dog can self-publish using Amazon, for free, then, at that very same moment, Draper decides to start a book-publishing business?
Shouldn’t he be in a home?
Wise words.
The press should be gagged. Trust me they would enjoy it.
Jack Straw, now there’s an honest politician.
prezza…now theres a svelte figure
